This commentary stinks. Too much talking about Lever getting hit in the moosh and not enough calling the crucial contest in the back 50.

    Weideman and Kosi inexcusable goal kicking. 

    Kozzie needs to fix his run up.

    Outdid their great first half with a great quarter. We've got the hunger, as long as we take our chances I'll back us in here.

    Huge quarter. Major lift in the middle and as a result we had far more forward half ball. Brings our forward into play and nullifies them. 

    But those three bad misses (TMac, Weid and Pickett) could come back to bite us. 

    At least now we know we can match them. Game on.

    Great response we have all the momentum. Lions look flat. Out of legs? 
     

    Need to come out firing in the 4th with immense pressure in the contest and stoppages. 
     

    How does Kozzy miss that set shot. His routine looks out of whack.

    Great quarter but in all past years the Lions would lift and run over us here by 4 goals 

    let’s see if we’re different 


    Great quarter Dees.

    Now, does our fitness let us run away Q4?

    4 to 10 (Brisbane’s way) centre clearances and 14 to 22 (Brisbane’s way) clearances.

    That’s the issue right there.

    We evened up clearances a fair bit that quarter, no surprise we played so well.

    I reckon we are fitter

    May on Daniher and Harmes of Neale much better match ups.

    They've only lost 4 last quarters all year.

    Brisbane are going to give their all in the last, they have a never say die attitude. Hopefully we are bringing in our "learnings" from the Adelaide game.

    Set shots inside 40m please. Should be 90% efficiency, not 50%. We should be 2 goals up on that quarters hard work. And suspect we will need a lead as their big forwards will come back into play towards the end.

    For a key fwd that hardly gets near the ball you’d like to think he’d be crisp around goal.

    Kozzie just needs not to lean back on the kick, push body weight forward, simples.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
